Could someone explain what's going to happen the weekend I not very weather savvy and don't know what I'm looking at to be honest.

Looks to be heading a lot colder again (sat and sun, possibly longer). Very cold is def possible, albeit not quite as potent as at the start of the month. As ever with snow - once there is cold air in play snow can pop up (as seen two weeks ago - the models don't do a good job at predicting snow at anything more than 48 hours away).

Most remarkable feature is the date - very cold for the time of year.

Well had a quick glance and models look okay south of the M4 

Still a chance of snow and very cold still game on...

I think those northerners need a break from cold snowy weather its been a hard winter spring for them to endure 

See what the pub run brings...

John Hammond was practically purring about the weekend on Points West. Really hope Ian is on tomorrow though!

Everything a tad further south again on the 18z GFS. Seems to keep shifting slightly that way over past few runs. Still potentially game on for our region but I won't bother venturing into the MAD thread for fear of tantrums.

A nice trough in sub 528 dam air for us on the latest 120 fax

Think a dry’er easterly this time round on latest output, but if anyone has a chance it’s our region. Then bring on spring .... I think

I think the southward shift will stop and maybe even correct slightly north but we are in with a good chance at a last hurrah asuming it is the last..

Saturday and Sunday look best, quite a few snow showers and then longer spells of snow.

Full sun and 13.5C will definitely help to push them up though, even now.

I disagree bud, the effect of the March sun on soil temps  is like turning your central heating on from cold it takes a while to warm up.

With a cold start to the month the sun has a lot of catching up to do. When I was a kid March in the 70's / early eighties often were cold , something quite rare these days.

[Nights King]

Still looks okay for us I'm south just have to hope for some organised troughs but I'd take cold and sunny if nothing else. 

[Dorsetbred]

Morning all, a cloudy start to the day, with a mild 7.5C, but a fair breeze from the SE, taking the edge off the mildness.
